Northeast India, along with the rest of the world, is gearing up to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ tomorrow. The Chief Ministers and other important figures of the region have already begun sending their Christmas wishes to the people of the region.
Taking to microblogging site X (formerly Twitter), Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma wrote, “Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas filled with love and joy. As we approach the New Year, may it be a time of renewed hope, unity, and prosperity for our great nation. Together, let’s embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. “
Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio wrote in his official X handle,”May the message of Christmas, which is Love, Peace, Joy and Hope fill our hearts and homes. I wish you all a safe and a #MerryChristmas.”
Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma said, “I take this opportunity to wish all the citizens of our state, on this joyous occasion , all the joy, peace and happiness that Christmas bring along with it.”
Christmas preparations have been going on in full-swing in the region with hardly any place left untouched by decorations. The yuletide spirit is on full display in Assam as streets and churches have been beautifully decorated. The streets have been decked up with festive lights and preparations have been made to celebrate the event in a grand way.
In Meghalaya, people have flooded the markets of Khyndailad, popularly known as Police Bazar, and Iewduh to shop for the festival. Christmas will likely be a low-key affair in violence-hit Manipur with the the people still recovering from the losses they suffered this year. In Mizoram, churches are filled to the brim as people are attending church services across the state.
